Repurposed Earrings

I bought these funky owl earrings in Guatemala. The silver hook part that inserts into the ear was rusted and kinda gross, so I had to replace them. I needed small rings to loop through the earrings themselves first, so I took apart a silver earring (shown) and used 2 rings from it. I lost the other silver earring riding my bike last summer and couldn't part with the other. (they were my very favorite pair for a long time) I decided to make the parts of one earring into 2 earrings by inserting a ring (in the larger earring) and added brand new, matching hooks. Ta da! A new pair.
